Preparation of red mud-based catalyst and performance for trace ammonia in simulative tail gas
A Fe-based powder catalyst was prepared from red mud (RM) solid waste with acid base neutralization method
which was used to eliminate the trace ammonia thought the proposed process of directly spraying the catalyst into SNCR tail gas. The effects of temperature
space velocity
NH
3
concentration and water vapor on ammonia removal capacity of the catalyst were investigated in details
and excellent removal efficiency could be achieved with 100% NH
3
conversion above 450℃ as well as
>
80% selectivity of N

between 400—500℃. Especially
the trace ammonia in the tail gas can completely be cleared with 0 left between the space velocity of 3×10

at 500℃. Meanwhile
the catalytic process is also effective for the removal of NH

with wide concentration of (40×10

mol/L) even in the presence of water. The multiple characterizations further revealed that the strong alkalinity of the original solid waste was removed together with the increase of surface acidity as well as large specific surface area and rich surface microstru
cture for the obtained red mud catalyst
which accounts for its significant increase of adsorption and activation of NH
3
. Moreover
it was found the removal process of NH
3
follows the internal selective catalytic reduction (iSCR) mechanism
and the NH
3
was eliminated through both the NH

-SCR and NH

-SCO reactions
which mainly function below 400℃ and between 400-500℃
